Wisdom from Bill Cosby

These quotes apply to our search for a Latina:

A word to the wise ain't necessary--it's the stupid ones who need advice.
--Bill Cosby, Fat Albert's Survival Kit,1975

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
--Bill Cosby, 1977

The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
--Bill Cosby, 1987

Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy.
--Bill Cosby, 1989

The heart of marriage is memories; and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns, then your marriage is a gift from the gods.
--Bill Cosby, 1989

I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't.
--Bill Cosby, 1989

Funny you should mention Bill Cosby.
Monday morning I am eating breakfast in a cafe in Memphis Tennessee.I went there for the 50 year Rock and Roll celebration I will do a seperate post on.I was reading the local newspaper.Bill Cosby is being quoted about what he sees in alot of Black youth.He says alot of black kids are the  dirty laundry the black community doesn't like to talk about.They are rude,use vulgar language,they can't read,they can't write,they think they are cool,they are going nowhere.Reminded me of the group of young blacks that took the whole sidewalk the night before,didn't look where there were going then cussed me out when they ran in to me.
My thoughts were what a bunch of stupid losers.I was glad to see that some blacks understand the problem of why these kids are not making it in life.Its not their color,Bill is the same color and very successfull.Its their attitude.And lack of discipline and positive  motivation.Which leads to things like spending years in school and learning almost nothing.
